ANTHONY PETTICORE, OF SEDRO WOOLLEY, WASHINGTON.

OIL-BURNER.

Application filed April 29, 1914.

To all whom it may concern.

Be it known that I, ANTHONY Pnrrroonn, a citizen of the United States, residing at Sedro Noolley, in the county of Skagit and State of lVashington, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Burners, of which the following is a specification, reference being had therein to the accompanying drawing.

This invention relates to oil burners and has for its object the production of a simple and eflicient means whereby the oil may be efficiently gasified so as to insure the best combustion possible while burning.

Another object of the invention is the production of a simple and efficient pan for supporting the oil burner mechanism whereby air will be efficiently mixed with the gasified oil so as to produce an efficient combustion.

lVith these and other objects in view this invention consists of certain novel combinations, constructions, and arrangements of parts as will be hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings :Figure 1 is a sectional view through a stove showing the burner in position. Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section through the burner. Fig. 8 is a top plan view of the burner pan showing the draft pipes in section. Fig. 4 is a section taken on line 4, of Fig. 2. Fig. 5 is a section taken on line 5-5, of Fig. 2. Fig. 6 is a section taken on line 66, of Fig. 1.

By referring to the drawings it will be seen that 1 designates the burner pan which is preferably rectangular in shape, although, of course the pan may be made of any desired shape. The pan 1 is provided with a plurality of apertures 2 in the bottom thereof, which apertures are normally closed by means of the plugs 3. The plu s 3 may be removed from the pan 1 if it is so desired for the purpose of increasing the draft through the pan, and these plugs are especially adapted to be removed when wood or other material is placed upon the burner pan for burning when the oil supply is not used.

The pan 1 is provided intermediate its ends with an upwardly struck oil pocket 4:, which pocket has a bead 5 formed around the upper edge thereof to constitute an oil retaining flange for retaining the oil within Specification of Letters Patent. Patented, Dec, 29, 1914;.

the pocket 4 prior to lighting the burner. I

The upper face of the pocket 4 is provided with a plurality of upwardly struck collars 5, within which collars are seated the draft pipes 6. These draft pipes 6 are provided with apertures 7 within the bottom thereof for the purpose of allowing air to pass out through the pipes and over the face of the pocket 4 so as to facilitate the mixture of the air with the gas formed by heating the oil contained within the burner as hereinafter described.

The pan 1 is provided near the upwardly struck pocket 1 with an aperture 8, within which aperture is placed a hollow tube 9 having the lower end thereof normally closed by means of athreaded plug 10. This hollow tube 9 supports upon the upper end thereof an oil receptacle 11 which is threaded u on the hollow pipe 9 as is illustrated in Fig. 2. The oil receptacle 11 is provided upon the upper edge thereof with an outwardly and upwardly flared flange 12 for facilitating the spreading of the flame from the burner as the same rises to the top of the stove. This flange 12 will constitute a deflector plate for spreading the flame as will be obvious.

An oil feeding pipe 13 extends down through the oil receptacle 11 and through the pipe 9 nearly to the bottom of said pipe for feeding oil to the pipe 9 and causing the oil to rise to the pipe 9, before entering through the receptacle 11. The depending pipe 13 is connected to the main supply pipe 14 as is clearly illustrated in Figs. 1 and 2, and a valve 15 is carried by the pipe 14 for the purpose of controlling the flow of oil through the pipe 14. A reservoir tank 16 is supported upon a pipe 17, which pipe is connected to the supply pipe 14 as is clearly illustrated in Fig. 1.

, A gas supply pipe 18 is carried by one end of the oil receptacle or tank 11, and this pipe 18 is provided with an oil entrance aperture 19 near the bottom of the tank 11. A plurality of gas entering apertures 20 are formed near the upper end of the pipe 18 as is also clearly illustrated in Figs. 2 and 4:. The lower end of the pipe 18 supports a T-joint 21, which T-joint in turn supports a burner pipe 22 as is clearly illustrated in Fig. 2. The burner pipe 22' is provided with an oil outlet and gas discharge aperture 23 centrally thereof, and the lower end of the T-joint 21 is closed by means of a threaded plug 24 as is clearly illustrated in Fig. 2.

The operation of the burner is as follows: The oil will be fed down through the pipes 17 and 1 1 into the pipe 9 by means of the depending pipe 13. The oil will then rise up to the level of the bottom of the tank 11 and pass down through the aperture 19 and be discharged through the aperture 23 upon the upper face of the pocket 4:, whereupon the same may be ignited and by burning the oil upon the upper face of the pocket 4, the heat will cause the oil. within the pipe 9 and also within the tank 11 to be heated and gasi lied, whereupon the gas passing down through the pipe 18 and pipe 22 will be superheated, and the air passing through the air supply pipes 6 and being discharged out through the apertures 7 will. constitute an etlicient combustion for facilitating the burning of the SHPQIllGiItGCl gas passing from the,

oil burner. The flange 12 will, as stated above, deflect the flames as the same rise up the sides of the tank 11.

It should be understood that after the burner is in operation for a little time, the oil within the pipe 9 will be gasified or heated, and as thegases from the oil rise into the tank 11, the same will be superheated and will also be further heated as the gas passes down through the pipes 18 and 22.

It should be understood that the pipe 9 may be removed from the burner pan 1 when it is desired, as for instance when it is desired to burn wood orother fuel. The plugs 3 may also be removed from the pan for the purpose of creating a draft therethrough.

It should be further understood that the plugs 24 and 10 may be removed from their respective supports so as to facilitate the cleaning of the burner when it is so desired. It should be further understood that owing tothe position of the plugs 10 and 24 the oil will at all times keep the threaded portion thereof thoroughly lubricated.

It should be understood that owing to the fact that the oil burner is placed within the stove, the air heated thereby will be retained within the stove and in this way greatly add to the heating capacity of the burner.

Having thus described the invention what is claimed as new, is

1. An oil burner comprising a pan, an upwardly struck pocket provided with a flange formed around the edge thereof, a plurality of vertically extending draft pipes extending through said pan, said pipes provided with draft apertures formed near the bottom thereof, an oil supply means suspended above said pocket and adapted to supply oil thereto for facilitating the light ing of the burner, and said oil supply means also adapted to be efficiently heated by said pan foi-"generating gas after the burner has been lighted.

2. An oil burner comprising a pan, an oil pocket formed upon said pan and provided with an oil retaining flange formed around the edge thereof, vertically extending draft pipes carried by the pocket, an oil receptacle, means for supporting said oil. receptacle above said. pocket, and means for feeding oil to said pocket whereby the oil within said receptacle will be heated for the purpose of generating gas.

3. An oil burner comprising a pan, a pocket carried by said pan, an oil receptacle, a hollow pipe supporting said receptacle above said pocket, a feed pipe extending down into said hollow pipe, a gas supply pipe extending through said oil receptacle and projecting therefrom, a burner pipe extending laterally of said gas supply pipe, a deflector flange formed upon said oil receptacle, draft supply pipes carried by said burner pan, said burner pipe adapted to deliver oil upon said pocket and discharge gas below said oil receptacle, and means for supplying oil to said oil receptacle.

In testimony whereof I hereunto ailix my signature in presence of two witnesses.
